Sidney Athens
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hey! My name is Sidney and I'm 19 years old. I've been working at a daycare in Marietta for the past year and a half and I have truly fallen in love with childcare. I love working with kids! At the daycare I spent most of my time with the 3-4 age group, but I also occasionally work with the 1 and 2-year-olds as well as the 5+. I’m CPR, first-aid, and AED certified and I have also done some early childhood development coursework. I just transferred to UGA for my sophomore year of college, so I'm new to Athens. I'm really hoping to find a family that needs someone to help consistently during the week and maybe occasionally for date nights.

Tyreese Statham
$17 per hour for 1 child

Howdy! I used to babysit professionally when I was younger for a few years. Mainly for an elementary child that was a neighbor and a few others that preferred me to watch their kiddos over others. I have always been the go to person for watching over the kiddos! I am super eccentric, love planning events/activities for kiddos. Children love me and I always have a blast making sure they have the best time as well as building a bond with the parents too! Normally I have games for fun and educational purposes too and plenty of healthy snacks that are fun to make! I give 100% to everything I do! I do take safety, allergies, contacts, emergency contacts, etc very seriously. As someone who is an over communicator, you won't have to worry about minimum information. I also used to clean houses for a living and I am a great cook! So you won't have to worry about that if you need my other services too! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Hi, I'm Diana! I am 22 years old. I know every family is different so I'm open to any kind of job, including infant to teen care, swim lessons, any housekeeping needs you have. I have been babysitting since I was 16 often responsible for preparing meals for my kids, keeping them entertained, doing homework with them, and taking them to after school activities however as far as my professional experience goes, I worked at my Church's daycare center since 2022 with children ranging from infancy to 6 years old. My main source of income currently comes from teaching swim lessons for students ages 2-18 and I also nannied for a family of two children ages 2 and 3 however I just recently moved and am looking for something a little more accessible. I have my CPR/AED certification as well as first aid certification that was issued in May of 2023. I'm outgoing and motivated and have always been great with kids, I would love to be a part of your family and help anyway I can.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Diana as our nanny, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, she was incredibly engaging, taking the time to truly get to know our family and build a strong connection with our kids. Her warm and wonderful personality made her an instant favorite in our home. Diana is exceptionally interactive with children, always finding creative and fun ways to keep them engaged, learning, and entertained. She has a natural ability to connect with kids, making them feel comfortable and cared for at all times. What truly sets Diana apart is her unwavering willingness to support our family in any way she can. Whether it was helping with daily routines, offering extra support when needed, or simply being a dependable and positive presence, she went above and beyond every day. We highly recommend Diana to any family looking for a dedicated, caring, and truly exceptional nanny. She has made such a wonderful impact on our family, and we are so grateful for her time with us!

Hannah Athens
$12 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hannah, and I’m an outgoing, playful, and creative individual in my fourth year at the University of Georgia. I’ve always had a passion for caring for others, especially children. I have a younger sister who’s eight years younger than me, so I’ve had hands-on experience caring for her through many different stages of childhood. Beyond that, I’ve worked in elementary classrooms and alongside children with special needs, which has helped me develop patience, empathy, and flexibility in different caregiving situations. I’m also bilingual and love embracing different cultures, which is something I often bring into playtime, stories, or learning activities to make them more fun and enriching. While my experience is still growing, I genuinely enjoy being around kids and hope to continue building that experience while supporting a family that needs dependable, caring help. Whether it’s keeping children engaged with creative activities, helping with homework, or creating a fun and safe environment, I’m always ready to bring positive energy and care!
